HiddenChest Win Editions?
The ComboBox (or Dropdown scrolling list box) has basically been made! WOOT!
Clicking the bar works! Clicking the scroll buttons and dragging the tab works! Clicking a choice works! Whatever item is selected as the index position displays within the bar just as it should!
It is a ComboBox!
But... for comparison purposes......
The above screenshot is a window-based compiler where you can actively draw widgets on a window (designated a 'form'). And with this, I performed some tests.
If you have a ComboBox open and click outside the widget, the opened ComboBox automatically closes... It thinks you're ignoring it and basically says "Harumph!!!" As such, all 'other' objects such as checkboxes, buttons, listboxes... they cannot function while the ComboBox is open.
This is a problem which I must tackle. As it stands, I can click and activate the other objects in the windows/forms while my ComboBoxes are open. In the first window, I do have a checkbox visible... which unfortunately does register its 'click', even if I click an area covered up BY the ComboBox's list. That's an OOF indeed. And it is something I need to rectify.
Meanwhile, there is another LISTBOX of sorts which I need to fix up... a Checkbox list which can be seen in the second window. Unlike the traditional ListBox, you can click multiple items in the list for a result while a normal list box opts for just one.
